Hardware implanted during primary total joint arthroplasty carries a serious risk for periprosthetic infection (PJI). The formation of bacterial biofilms, which are highly tolerant antibiotics and host immunity, is recognized as being major barrier to treatment. It not known whether some components their surface features more prone biofilm than others. This study attempted map on different orthopedic hardware recovered revision. Implant culture (ISC) was used 53 from 14 hip knee revisions....

We present two cases of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) bearing failure in this report-one case dislocation and one fracture. The causes both are evaluated depth recommendations provided regarding intraoperative technique to reduce risk mobile UKAs.In the first case, evidence metallosis chronic pain preceding traumatic event may indicate that patient had attenuation her collateral ligaments precipitated instability event. In second relatively atraumatic nature fracture-dislocation...
